[. . . ] It does have the disadvantage that smaller, deeper objects give fainter signals. DIGITAL The audio signal is directly controlled by the R1 computer. This means that a deep object will give the same audio volume as a shallow object. This can make the initial location of an object easier and more positive but does not convey any other information. PROGRAMS DISCRIM SENSITIVITY AUDIO PROGRAMS SET UP GR'ND TYPE OPTIONS RECALL STORE BACK These functions allow the operator to store and recall the set up of the R1. A program will store all of the current settings including Discrimination, Sensitivity, Frequencies etc. Once Store or Recall is selected rotate the MENU/SCROLL control to highlight the Program to be stored or recalled and then press the ENTER button. The R1 comes with the first three programs preset to commonly used settings. The COIN INLAND Program is set for high sensitivity to precious metals, the ALL METAL Program for deep seeking of all metals and COIN BEACH Program for Beach use. GROUND TYPE DISCRIM SENSITIVITY AUDIO PROGRAMS SET UP GR'ND TYPE OPTIONS RECALL STORE BACK INLAND BEACH This allows the operator to select between use on normal inland sites or wet sand sites such as the beach. Use the MENU/SCROLL control to highlight the desired option and then press the ENTER button. INLAND This will set the R1 ground reject circuit to normal ground conditions. BEACH This will set the R1 ground reject circuit to cope with the extreme conditions found on wet sand. NOTE: As beach conditions are so variable some adjustment of the GROUND ADJ setting may be required. OPTIONS DISCRIM SENSITIVITY AUDIO PROGRAMS SET UP GR'ND TYPE OPTIONS RECALL STORE BACK DEFAULT LAST MANUAL OFF MANUAL ON 11 This allows the operator to select which settings are restored when the R1 is switched on. Highlight the desired choice using the MENU/SCROLL control and then press the ENTER button. DEFAULT (setting) This will tell the R1 to load the factory default settings every time it is switched on. LAST (setting) If MANUAL mode is selected (see below) this will tell the R1 to switch on with exactly the same settings as when it was last used. This enables you to turn the R1 off when digging for deep targets and then switch it back on and resume your searching without having to readjust the detector. MANUAL OFF This turns the manual mode off so when you turn on the R1 you are presented with a short cut to the easy to use manufacturer defined programs of: COIN INLAND for general purpose searching on most sites i. e. those not affected by very high mineralisation or salt deposits. ALL METAL for very deep searching of all metals (no discrimination). COIN BEACH for general purpose searching on the beach or highly mineralised sites. MANUAL ON This turns the opening selection screen off so that when you turn on the R1 you are immediately in the searching mode. Experienced users of the R1 may prefer this setting.

SETUP DISCRIM SENSITIVITY AUDIO PROGRAMS SET UP DISPLAY GROUND ADJ FREQUENCY BATTERY BACK DISPLAY DISCRIM SENSITIVITY AUDIO PROGRAMS SET UP DISPLAY GROUND ADJ FREQUENCY BATTERY BACK CONTRAST BRIGHTNESS These options allow the display settings to be adjusted. These settings are stored when the R1 is switched off and will be restored when it is turned back on. To select, highlight the desired option by rotating the MENU/SCROLL control and the press the ENTER button. CONTRAST This option sets the contrast level or viewing angle of the display. However, if the R1 is used at dawn or dusk when the sun is low in the sky then some adjustment may be required to improve the visibility of the display. The desired level should be set by rotating the MENU/SCROLL control and then pressing the ENTER button when satisfied, this will store the setting. BRIGHTNESS This option sets the brightness level of the backlight. In normal daylight the backlight is not required and it should be set to 0. At night or in conditions of poor light the backlight level should be adjusted by rotating the MENU/SCROLL control and then pressing the ENTER button when satisfied, this will store the setting. IMPORTANT NOTE: The backlight consumes a lot of power compared with the low consumption circuitry of the rest of the R1. For this reason to ensure long battery life the backlight should only be used where necessary and the brightness level kept to a minimum. The brighter the backlight the more power it uses and the shorter the battery life will be. [. . . ] If you discover any live ammunition or any lethal objects such as an unexploded bomb or mine, do not touch it. Remember it is illegal for anyone to use a metal detector on a scheduled ancient monument unless permission has been obtained from the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monument Commission for England or the Secretary of State for the Environment in Scotland and Wales. Remember that when you are out with your metal detector, you are an ambassador for our hobby. Details of the law can be obtained from the Department of Culture, Media & Sport (Tel: 0207 211 6200) who produce excellent literature to help you to understand how the law affects you and your hobby. CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR Storage When not in use your detector should be stored in a dry warm environment. [. . . ]
